Titans swing big, take Jalen Milroe No. 1 overall in new 2025 NFL mock draft

The Tennessee Titans have pulled off a massive hack to solve their quarterback need by selecting Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe in a new 2025 NFL mock draft.

In a new mock for FanSided’s NFL Spin Zone, Sayre Bedinger has the Titans selecting Milroe No. 1 overall. He alluded to the idea that Tennessee’s coaching staff might like to work with a quarterback it selects in 2025 rather than continue trying to fit Will Levis into their system. Milroe, on the other hand, offers enticing skills to build around.

“Jalen Milroe is an extremely dynamic playmaker at the QB position who requires patience but may be the most talented overall QB with the highest upside in this class, even if he may not be the most NFL-ready (Carson Beck , Shedeur Sanders)”

The jury is still out on whether former second-round pick Will Levis will have a future in the NFL. The early returns aren’t promising, and Levis has played like a bottom-five pro quarterback so far in 2024.

With that in mind, it’s not surprising that fake drinks are replacing nature’s mayonnaise-loving, athletic whims. And considering the way Milroe has played for the Crimson Tide so far in 2024, it’s nice to see the young man getting some recognition for his work.

There were questions about whether Milroe can play at a high enough level and consistently enough to make it as an NFL quarterback. After seeing what he did against Georgia in Week 5 of the college football season, that’s no longer such a big ask. Milroe put the entire NFL draft class on notice with a brilliant performance that we won’t soon forget.

So far in 2024, Milroe has racked up 1,237 yards and 18 touchdowns in total offense. He has shown improvement this season compared to last, and if Milroe continues to shine for the rest of the season like he did in Week 5, he will be highly coveted when the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in April.
